Star Wars Outlaws

First things first, if you’re wondering whether you can max out all 4 Syndicates and also unlock the ‘Think I had a choice?’ achievement in one playthrough, then yes, you absolutely can.

So, first things first, in order to get this achievement, you need to get a Syndicate’s rank all the way down to Terrible. The best way to do this is choose a Syndicate who you want to go against from the off. We chose to focus all our ire at the Pyke Syndicate. This is for one reason, and that’s that early on there are some main missions where you can really annoy the Pykes, namely:

• Underworld (Main Quest) - At the end of the mission, choose between Elera (Crimson Dawn) and Gorak (Pyke).
• False Flag (Main Quest) - Have two choices with the data at the data vault at the end of the mission: Frame Crimson Dawn (+ Pykes) or Frame the Pykes (+ Crimson Dawn).
• The Traitor (Syndicate Quest) - Take Tizlak to Gorak at the end (Pyke Syndicate boost (and assumed negative effect on Crimson Dawn), or Accept Tizlak’s bribe (Crimson Dawn boost and -3 on Pyke).

With those three mission choices, and you just shooting and annoying Pykes whenever you see them, you’ll be in “Terrible” standing with them in no time whatsoever - and will have unlocked the ‘Think I had a choice?’ achievement.

Now, the challenge here is to get from Terrible all the way up to Excellent (for the 4 max Syndicate reputation achievements), and while Contracts are a decent way to go, the best way is to plan for this from the off.

And the way you do that is simple. Throughout your time in Outlaws you’ll pick up “Syndicate Data,” like for instance, the Beastmaster Journal or Dai Bendu Maps (they appear with disc icons and have a sub-heading of Syndicate Data in your inventory, under Valuables). Once you start getting these, save them.

Then, when you reach Terrible, you’ll want to recover quickly. And the best way to do that is to visit a Pyke Syndicate trader (who’s in a neutral zone, like Hen Puon, the merchant in northeast Mirogana), speak to them and select “Give Data.” Giving over Syndicate Data discs will give you a massive boost in reputation, and hopefully move you out of Terrible and into Bad (or perhaps Poor) in an instant.
